i need to get a set of dr's and smaller wheels to run at the track. cuz running on the 20's is hurtin me bad i know. ill have to get ahold of some 17" steelies to run, cuz with the brakes i cant run anything smaller and clear the brakes.

i plan on testing it again when it quits raining every other day round here and see what i can get as she sits right now.
look for a set of stockers on craigslist i found a set of 4 with tires for like 200 just my .02

quick question regarding the t56, if you just do that swap do you have to reprogram the computer? or is it just plug and play? btw no cruse control for me

the shifter locatoin is about 12" back from the hole that the 5-speed comes through and you would need a 26 spline clutch setup. other than that, yeah the vss connector is the same but you have to retune for the different speedo gear inside the t-56, and the reverse light plug is the same.

i talked to a gm mechanic friend of mine and he said that he thought the cruise control settings were in the body module and you would need a tech2 or something to go in there and reprogram that. just an fyi.

you will need to step up the gear in the rear end too or be doomed to gas mileage and no go out of the whole. i finally stepped up to 4.88 gears after breaking the 4.56s and i effin love them. the truck gets up and hauls ***.

on another note i just got ahold of some 02 16" stockers that im gonna run some drs on and get some new track times. just gotta get the cash for the drs.
